Abrogation Of The Verses

LESSON # 111 HOLY QUR’AN

BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)

Abrogation Of The Verses

Verse –106 & 107 of 286, Section – 13

106.
Such of Our Revelation as We abrogate or cause be forgotten, but We
bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah
is Able to do all things?

107.
Knowest thou not that it is Allah unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty
of the heavens and the earth. And ye have not, beside Allah, any guardian or
helper?

Maa nansakh min ‘aa-yatin – (Such of Our Revelation as We abrogate) there are two words considerable
in this sentence:

·‘aa-yat (literal meanings are sign and
token) and many things are aimed from it like miracles which have sign of the
Power of God Almighty and prophet hood of the Prophet, Command and order of The
Lord Almighty, and the verses of the Holy Qur’an (round signs) etc.

·Nansakh (We abrogate) to order in
place of the previous order which may be better than that or the like thereof. To
finish the first order and bring (in place) one better or alike. As far as
there is concern to change the miracle, in that case it is a common thing that
the God Almighty may abrogate one miracle and may bring one better or alike to
which He considers better according to the change of time. As far as there is concern
about the other meanings, in it two additional matters come out: One is the
verses of previous Heavenly Books and the second is the verses of Holy Qur’an
itself. Abrogation of the previous Heavenly Books after revelation of the Holy
Qur’an is then quite openly matter.

The
signs of the verses of Holy Qur’an (round signs) have been applied later on. In
the beginning these signs did not exist. So the question regarding abrogation
of these signs does not grow. Moreover it seems the right saying, “Aim regarding
abrogation of the verses is that the new Commands and Orders of God Almighty
have been revealed in the Holy Qur’an in place of His previous Orders and Commands
mentioned in His Old Heavenly Books Torah and Gospel), and these Commands
abrogate the old Orders.
